Publication date: November 2018Source: American Heart Journal, Volume 205Author(s): Nicolas M. Van Mieghem, Martin Unverdorben, Marco Valgimigli, Roxana Mehran, Eric Boersma, Usman Baber, Christian Hengstenberg, Minggao Shi, Cathy Chen, Shigeru Saito, Roland Veltkamp, Pascal Vranckx, George D. DangasTranscatheter aortic valve implantation, also called transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is the treatment of choice for patients with severe aortic stenosis and intermediate to high operative risk. A significant portion of TAVR patients have atrial fibrillation (AF) requiring chronic oral anticoagulation. In moderate...

Safety and efficacy of non–vitamin K oral anticoagulant for atrial fibrillation patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: A bivariate analysis of the PIONEER AF-PCI and RE-DUAL PCI trial
ConclusionsA bivariate analysis that simultaneously characterizes both risk and benefit demonstrates that riva- and dabi-based regimens were both favorable over VKA plus dual antiplatelet therapy among patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing PCI.

Harmony Outcomes: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the effect of albiglutide on major cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus—Rationale, design, and baseline characteristics
ConclusionsHarmony Outcomes will assess the CV safety of albiglutide in patients with T2DM and CV disease. Trials of other agents in the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist class have shown CV benefit for only some of these medications, possibly due to differences in trial design or instead due to differences in drug structure or metabolism. Harmony Outcomes will provide information critical to our understanding of this heterogenous class of glucose-lowering agents.

I-CARE randomized clinical trial integrating depression and acute coronary syndrome care in low-resource hospitals in China: Design and rationale
Publication date: August 2018Source: American Heart Journal, Volume 202Author(s): Shenshen Li, James A. Blumenthal, Chuan Shi, Danielle Millican, Xian Li, Xin Du, Anushka Patel, Pei Gao, Elizabeth Delong, Pallab K. Maulik, Runlin Gao, Xin Yu, Yangfeng WuAbstractDepression and acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are both common public health challenges. Patients with ACS often develop depression, which in turn adversely affects prognosis. Low-cost, sustainable, and effective service models that integrate depression care into the management of ACS patients to reduce depression and improve ACS outcomes are critically needed. Integ...

Impact of total ischemic time on manual thrombus aspiration benefit during primary percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionIn a large registry of STEMI patients, manual TA was not associated with lower risk-adjusted in-hospital all-cause mortality compared with PCI-alone regardless of TIT but was associated with significantly greater risk of MACE. In patients with prolonged TIT, manual TA was associated with higher risk-adjusted MACE rates compared with PCI-alone.

Variation in post-TAVR antiplatelet therapy utilization and associated outcomes: Insights from the STS/ACC TVT registry®
ConclusionsIn the U.S. the majority of patients were discharged on DAPT following TAVR. Practice patterns varied significantly among hospitals. Patients discharged with DAPT had a similar adjusted risk of mortality, stroke and MI compared to antiplatelet monotherapy, though risk for bleeding was significantly higher. Future investigation is needed to define the optimal antiplatelet therapy for patients undergoing TAVR.
